Well ... after considerable deliberation over price increases from the print house I use for my calendars, I've decided to go ahead with a smaller order this year, for the 10th Edition of 'Through the Seasons'
I started publishing a calendar 10 years ago. The original intent was to have a project that would focus my attention on review and selection of past images, requiring me to be critical of my own work. Additionally it provided another way to showcase for my images and make them available for purchase in small quantities. Continuing on over time it evolved into a gift we gave members of the family at Christmas, with sales to a few friends and clients here and there.
I have one copy of each edition tucked away for posterity and of course I have the source images, some of which have been printed and framed for the house or cottage.
In this, the year of COVID, we will not be getting together with the extended family for Christmas celebrations and with printing price increases I've decided to cut back on the number of calendars ordered. Mailing a calendar out to those we won't see in person just added more to the cost and the logistics of making socially distanced visits to drop them off didn't make sense either given it would require us to enter COVID red-zones.
But there will be a '2021 Through the Seasons' calendar, they will just be more ... 'exclusive'.
